Way back in 1968 a filmmaker by the name of Bob Levis got together his band of hippy-types and decided to make a movie. It would appear, that they just couldn’t decide what sort of movie they wanted to make so they rolled a bunch of movies into one. The result is Gold, a bizarre amalgam of the craziness that was the late 60s. There is revolution, recreation AND raunch. It is a wester, a comedy, sexploitation, a drama and a musical all in one.
The film has also been out of the public eye for ages. I do not believe it has ever been officially released in any home medium (feel free to correct this if I am wrong). Featured in the film are the comedy stylings of Del Close and Garry Goodrow. The music is also a selling point—the MC5 are prominently featured.
As an aside, for anyone who saw the film, Pirate Radio, the producer of this film, Ronan O’Rahilly, is the character portrayed by Phillip Seymour Hoffman. O’Rahilly was the manager of MC5 and brought them on board.
